Re: journals

Lol...yeah, I didn't address that point but I agree with Ken.

Heck I consider myself lucky if somebody notices an error within 1 week...

Having something go on for a month or more is not unusual...many times
problems are caught during month end or year end...

We've space considerations on the system as Global journal receivers take

1/3 to 3/4TB per day, we used to keep 3 days of these and it was reduced to
1 day citing that you would always find out any production issues within
that timeframe.

Whoever made that statement is living in a happy, happy world of gum
drops, lollipops, and bunny rabbits.

I extract from our journal receiver the information for certain key
files and keep in an archive file. I often need to refer to it months
later, sometimes years later. (I have different retention periods for
different files in the archive file.)
